Box 2 BOXES & CONTAINERS

Folds, cuts, fittings, rivets, hinges and closures. Manipulations that evoke the maleability of paper and clay, but forged with fire and steel. Boxes and holders range from the intricate to the simple...but all pieces have in common a utilitarian aesthetic and a cohesive statement. Sizes range from 4x5x5 to 4x5x8.

Spurs 1 SPURS

Adornment for the adventurous...spurs of furnace-textured steel and brass sparkle and shine, ready to function as a calyx to an eager rider.
